HEPAfilter cleans itself while rotating, depositing fine debris in the smaller
side of the dirt cup (C).

The 'Z' cleaner will continue to perform at maximum cleaning levels if the
pre-filter screen is cleaned when the dirt cup is emptied (see Fig. 21).

If you notice that the filter is rotating slower than normal, not rotating, or
the filter light comes on, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
